Data is some kind of figures, characters which you may not be able to understand their meaning, mainly for further processing.

Object, e.g. a picture, a group of data presented in a way which we can easily understand.

Just my understanding. Hope this helps.

data 是 未經整理的, 即 raw data,
是 information 的前生.

一個object 之內可以裝有好多data, 例如一個人, 一架車.
